It rains in Michigan, leaving exactly three days of sunshine for all of your outdoor activities.

My wife claims we have sex four times a week, but I know for sure it's only twice a month. But to be really honest, it's only once a year. Wink c.i.

Ok, you asked me to have a look and the only answer I have is that the riddle became corrupt somehow.


The answer is "e" but the riddle is phrased incorrectly.

The correct way to ask this riddle is:

What happens four times in every week, twice in every day but only once in a year?

BTW, when you see riddles that are sooo contradictory with basic logic look for word-based answers.

When Fridays come before Tuesdays you are obviously dealing with a criteria that is not the obvious one.

So with this type of riddle look for language twists.

For me it went like this:

I looked for letters and found none. I then looked for things like voiced consanants etc.

Then I looked for a corrupted riddle.

Well, we haven't met formally. I'm posted on your "females are evil" forum. I've been reading and catching up on conversations. I figured if I brought it to your attention like we were old friends, then soon we will be.

I haven't seen you on other riddle boards, but i've got a couple of riddles I can't answer if you're game.

riddle me this
My first is in endurance but not in health

My second is in richer but never in wealth

my third is in beggarwood but not in oak

my fourth is in neighbour but not in folk

my fifth is like a ring, going where it came

and my sixth is the second, exactly the same.
